Amy WRIGHT and Wright
STAINES -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,April 23, 2005, Page M4
The careers of choreographer Amy Elizabeth
WRIGHT and lighting
designer Wright Harold
STAINES intersected on the yellow brick
road in a production of The Wizard of Oz at the Grand Theatre
in London, Ontario As in that tale, the captivated couple would
soon fly over their rainbow, meet the wicked witch of bureaucratic
delay and recognize they had the power to control their destiny.
But first, the tornado of fate had to throw them together.
Technically speaking, that happened in December, 2002, during
the Wizard of Oz run, but the two didn't actually connect until
later. They were too busy concentrating on the demands of their
work, which has involved a variety of high-profile celebrities.
She has worked with stars that range from Peter O'Toole and Jeremy
Irons to Hilary Duff and Woody Harrelson. He has worked with
some of the biggest names on Canadian stage.
The two didn't notice each other until April, 2003, during a
production of The Music Man at the Grand, when they bumped into
each other in the theatre's elevator. Sparks flew, but the pair
tried to keep their mutual attraction quiet. Savvy members of
the cast soon noticed their ardent glances, however, as Ms.
WRIGHT
cozied up to the lighting table.
"Wright was the first person to encourage me to share my feelings,
and he's funny," she says. "He's the first guy I really trust
and can be myself with 100 per cent, and he'll still love me
at the end of the day. Even if I argue with Wright, it's still
okay."
The beguiled Mr.
STAINES calls her "bright and shiny like a penny,
gregarious and vivacious."
By December, he proposed. Mr.
STAINES had been married once before,
and his divorce papers hadn't been finalized. But with career
obligations forcing them to spend much time apart, he says he
decided "to risk marriage again because I can't give her up,
and if I didn't, somebody else would get her."
He was familiar with life on the move, working as a roadie doing
lighting design for rock and roll bands before settling into
a long-term position at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake,
and later in his current position as head of lighting design
at the Grand Theatre. At 44, he now sticks close to London, while
Ms. WRIGHT has a working life that's more peripatetic.
Now 33, she was inspired by a workshop at the University of Western
Ontario and "followed her dream as a dancer," enrolling at the
Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts in Toronto. A part-time
stint with Stephanie
GARIN, casting director for such Toronto
productions as Mamma Mia and Rent, led to a modest choreography
assignment where her prodigious talent soon became apparent.
In addition to many live-theatre productions, she has choreographed
two dozen movie and television features, from 1999's Superstar
to the coming The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio.
While working on the latter, she taught Woody Harrelson and Julianne
Moore the foxtrot. "I ended up teaching Woody, his wife, and
two girls how to tap dance at their house after the shoot," she
says.
Their wedding was scheduled for August of 2004, but a stray marriage
certificate put a glitch in Mr.
STAINES's divorce proceedings
and their plans appeared to be unravelling. "I was having a breakdown,
saying, 'Oh my God, we can't get married,' Ms.
WRIGHT says.
"I was so upset, and devastated that I was going to call off
the wedding."
Officiant Sarah
BUNNETT-
GIBSON, however, proposed a solution:
a commitment ceremony. The idea thrilled the couple. "We decided
because we had come so far with our wedding plans we would go
with it," Ms.
WRIGHT says, "and if the paperwork arrived in time
to do it legally, fine. If it didn't, we'd have the most important
part, committing and saying we love each other."
The ceremony took place on August 23, an off-night Monday for
their theatre colleagues, on a sunset cruise in Toronto Harbour
aboard the chartered yacht Yankee Lady III. The onboard reception
for 110 guests was a summery barbecue, enlivened with red and
white gingham and lantern accents. Later, as the vessel headed
to shore, a coincidental pyrotechnic display at the Canadian
National Exhibition lit up the sky, heralding the occasion.
Almost six months later, the tardy divorce papers finally in
hand, the couple staged the legally prescribed finale on Valentine's
Day, exactly 35 years after the bride's parents were wed, in
a Rosedale home. The principals, minister, vows and wedding dress
were a repeat performance. Graham
COFFING, who appeared in the
musical Bat Boy, stood for the bride, and Jenny
KENT witnessed
for her brother, the bridegroom. "Who gets to wear their wedding
dress twice?" enthuses the bride, delighted with her new name,
Mrs. Wright
STAINES. "
TwoWrights are too confusing."
As for others who find themselves on a tortuous path of marital
red tape, the bridegroom has this advice: "Don't wait for love.
If it's important to you, just have a commitment ceremony, and
finish the legalities later."
